They spell it differently - ADOBE - you called it Abode which is an easy mistake.
The file type is .pdf (portable document format) and most computer users use Adobe reader to view these sort of files.
Install a free copy of Adobe reader and your book files should open OK
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Alternatively open them again in the format you want - Word - HTTP - etc.
There's so much pdf stuff on the internet you might as well get Adobe's reader now

Good luck...
